- found: Merck vet. manual, 2005: p. 570 (Classical swine fever (Hog cholera, Swine fever): a contagious febrile disease of pigs. It was first described in the early 19th century in the USA. Later, a condition in Europe termed swine fever was recognized to be the same disease. Both names continue in use although in Europe it is now called classical swine fever to distinguish it from African swine fever, which is clinically indistinguishable but caused by an unrelated virus. It is caused by a small, enveloped RNA virus in the pestivirus group of the family Flaviviridae.)
- found: Black's vet. dict. (Swine fever: also called hog cholera or pig typhoid. Swine plague is the term applied to what in Britain is considered to be the pneumonic form of swine fever but what in America and the continent of Europe has been regarded as a separate disease (see Swine fever).)
